Ensuring your zoo or wildlife park is always open.

For zoos and wildlife parks, keeping audiences engaged and diversifying revenue can be challenging, particularly when the attraction is closed. However, attraction management software offers a solution to maintain visitor interest and loyalty, converting it into sustained revenue.

Imagine sharing exciting news, like the birth of a baby hippo, directly with your audience via push notifications. This captures attention and builds loyalty, even when gates are shut. Content like this can be videoed, edited, and uploaded to the n-gage.io cloud-based attraction management platform. Through the corresponding mobile visitor app, visitors can then embark on an enriched content experience, exploring the new arrival's daily achievements using dynamic digital media like video and audio. This transforms engagement and deepens learning both on and off-site.

Sustain Audience Engagement During Closures

When a zoo or wildlife park is temporarily closed for maintenance, or due to unforeseen circumstances such as a pandemic, it is crucial to maintain audience engagement. Keeping visitors interested and connected to your park is key. The n-gage.io platform facilitates this by providing valuable data and audience insights.

By adopting a more flexible approach to audience interaction, zoos can shift from static exhibit-based content to dynamic digital storytelling. The n-gage.io platform extends your curated content, alongside other digital assets like social media, to deepen learning, education, and overall engagement.

Deliver Personalised Content and Experiences

Share Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Access

Digitalising media is a powerful way to connect with visitors and keep them interested. The n-gage.io platform enables zoos and wildlife parks to share behind-the-scenes content, animal updates, and educational resources directly with their audience.

Monetise Virtual Engagements

Another effective strategy for public engagement and income generation is offering virtual experiences and tours. This could include virtual zoo visits or live animal webcams. Each interaction through the mobile app, whether on or off-site, records valuable data on visitor behaviour. This insight allows the platform to personalise notifications and emails, tailoring content and offerings to individual interests and behaviours. This approach helps to grow your audience and creates a more bespoke experience for every visitor.

Drive Revenue with 'Always-On' Engagement

Generating income during closures presents a significant challenge. However, platforms like n-gage.io provide digital avenues for revenue generation. More engaged visitors and audiences typically translate into increased revenue opportunities.

The n-gage.io platform empowers zoos and wildlife parks to build interactive, lasting, and sustainable relationships with their audiences. Operators can diversify revenue streams, whether the attraction is open or closed, through various digital offerings:

• Push notification offers for special events or animal experiences, based on previous visitor interests.
• Add-ons like access to a 'live enclosure cam' to watch specific animals, such as a baby hippo. This can encourage future on-site visits once the attraction re-opens.

This digital shift cultivates an 'always-on', thoroughly engaged, worldwide audience. To maximise interaction, zoos and parks should integrate their audience engagement platform and app with other digital channels, such as TikTok and YouTube, to amplify their wider messaging.

Keep Your Attraction Accessible to All

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how often zoos and wildlife parks can be closed, leaving audiences without access to their favourite experiences. For many, this inaccessibility is a constant reality due to various reasons. The n-gage.io platform and audience app offer a range of features to ensure your zoo or wildlife park can remain 'always open'.

This includes enhancing audience engagement when a site is closed, and catering to individuals who are unable to visit in person or have specific accessibility concerns.
